It’s hard being good all the time. Everyone needs to be bad once in a while. But for seventeen-year-old Milayna, being good isn’t a choice. It’s a job requirement. And it’s a job she can’t quit. Born a demi-angel, Milayna steps in when danger and demons threaten the people around her, but being half angel isn’t all halos and happiness. Azazel, Hell’s demon, wants Milayna’s power and he’ll do anything to get it. But he only has until her eighteenth birthday, after which she becomes untouchable.
With the help of other demi-angels, Milayna thwarts the trouble Azazel sends her way. Fighting by her side is Chay. He’s a demi-angel who's sinfully gorgeous, and Milayna falls hard. But is Chay her true love… or her nemesis in disguise?
When she learns of a traitor in her group, there’s no one she can trust… not even the one she loves.
Milayna is one of those books that captures your attention from the beginning. It has action, romance, angels and demons. Everything you can ask for when reading a paranormal book. The writer does a fantastic job at creating a world that draws you in and keeps you on your toes till the very end.
Milayna is a character that you want to be your best friend. She is badass and down to earth. She also fights her destiny because all she wants to do is be "normal". I think a lot of readers can connect with her because they too just want to "fit in".
Chay is dark and brooding and has the bad boy vibe that has the females drooling. Beneath the facade, he is just a guy with a big heart. Definitely making my list of book boyfriends.
Pickett does a great job in telling this story. It doesn't slow down at all, it keeps pace from beginning to end. The only time I found myself want to skip ahead was when the suspense was building and I just had to know what would happen. No worries, I was a good reader and kept reading. Most writers would be more graphic with the violence when dealing with this genre. Pickett was able to stay true to the story and not overload it with graphic violence.
This book is not meant for just the YA audience. I think that any reader will find that they enjoy this book. I have to give far warning though, there is a mild cliffhanger that sets you up for the next book. Beware, by the time you are finished with this one, you will be begging for the second book. It is that good.
5 out of 5 Stars!!!!
